A hot murphy: Gaurav Gulati, a Delhi-based lawyer, has reported and shared images of his OnePlus Nord ii that he claims caught burn down and exploded while not in use. Rather than submitting the device to OnePlus for investigation, however, he has said that he intends to resolve the effect by legal means, seeking a ban on the auction of the phone in India.

MySmartPrice was able to get some closer images of the destroyed phone, which had allegedly suddenly grown hot in the pocket of Gulati'south robe earlier beginning to fume. Despite not beingness in utilize or plugged in, obviously being around 90 percentage charged at the time, the telephone defenseless fire and exploded soon after, still inside courtroom chambers. He also claims that he suffered injuries from the fire, and was highly critical of OnePlus's response to the incident.

OnePlus, for its role, has said that it intends to investigate the merits, although information technology has stopped short of offering any compensation as it couldn't perform an investigation without having the handset to examine. The company told the site on Friday:

Last evening, an individual notified the states about an alleged smash case for the OnePlus Nord 2 on Twitter [...] even so, despite multiple attempts to analyse the device, including a visit to the premises earlier today to examine it in the individual'southward presence, he has so far denied us the opportunity to perform a proper diagnosis. Under such circumstances, it is incommunicable for us to verify the legitimacy of this claim or address this individual's demands for bounty.

This isn't the start case of a Nord two catching fire. Another phone had previously gone up in flames back at the first of August, less than a fortnight after its launch. According to OnePlus, that was an "isolated incident involving external factors," but another one of the handsets exploding a month later certainly doesn't give them a look of reliability.

Information technology seems that Gulati agrees. As well equally filing an official complaint against OnePlus India through the constabulary, he also plans to file with the Indian consumer courts, seeking an injunction to block the phone's auction in the country and for OnePlus to remember the phones for inspection.
